About Dawn Ziegler, DVM

I grew up in Akron, Ohio and graduated from the University of Akron in 1995. I am a 1999 graduate of The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine (Go Buckeyes!) and have been practicing in San Diego since graduation. After 8 years in regular veterinary practice, it was time to follow my passion. I have always been fascinated with holistic health care and was growing more and more frustrated with the limitations of western medicine. I wanted more for my patients and so did they! I completed the extensive training and testing required for Certification in Veterinary Chiropractic (AVCA) and Veterinary Acupuncture (IVAS). I also completed an intense training course in Traditional Chinese Medicine herbal therapy through the Chi Institute. I started Home Sweet Home Veterinary Housecalls in 2007 with the vision of providing quality, compassionate veterinary care that offered holistic options and a comfortable environment for both patient and their human. My husband and I love living in Ocean Beach with our furry friends Koa, Mojo and Merlin.
